I admit it. I turned it off a few minutes into the second half. Just didn't see any hope and didn't want to spend my Sunday night grumpier than I already was.

Put it back on when my brother texted me a "tied" and a thousand exclamation points. Saw the very end.

I'd be more interested in a "I broke my remote in anger" thread.

I turned it off in the first half, came back at half time. Turned it off again when PSU scored like 9 straight in two minutes to start the second, then turned it back on a few minutes later

I went to the bathroom at the end of the 1st half, saw we were only down 10 and said screw it i'll keep watching.

zoned out on instagram when PSU started the 2nd half on their run and then locked in when they stopped getting FGs.

I turned it off in the first half. I turned it back on late when I friends texted saying we made a huge run.

I said aloud to my wife “I can’t watch this ****” and turned the tv off and went into the other room. Had it up on my phone maybe five minutes later.

Was putting together a cabinet with the wife so had it on in the background watching and was unable to post on the board or really follow the game.

What’s the big problem everyone? Looks like it was an easy road win 😜

Had it on, but was only partially watching. Didn't really recognize we were within striking distance till about 5 mins left.


I would have let the GF change it, but luckily she was working on a project.

I have a superstition to turn off the game when it’s going bad to change the luck. I 100% did in the first half for roughly 10-12 min. Turned it back on at halftime.

Should I say I'm not surprised? Never went off here...

I learned my lesson many many years ago. Our first year in the Big East. Down by 20 at Pitt with about nine minutes to go. I missed the epic comeback and Damon Santiago's game winning three at the buzzer.

I was pumped by R run at end of 1st half. Got pizzed at the crapola start in 2nd half so took dog for a walk, but did follow game on ESPN tracker. Watched the fantastic ending with Simpson's blow by layup+1 and the tough D after Caleb's missed FT. A lot of great plays on that last defensive stop. Cliff running at Dread and altering that into an airball, Caleb beating the pick on inbound and then was all over next shooter without fouling and Cam's perfect strip to close it out.

I already confessed in a different thread.

My self imposed penance is no opinions till I am sufficiently punished.

I turned it off I think when Paul got his 4th fouls or something. We were down a lot. But I turned it back on within 3 minutes. I had a feeling

I never turn anything off… or almost never.

As an Eagles fan, I turned off the game where they had that epic comeback against the Giants. I wouldn’t even have done it except I had a project to work on for school.

But other than that I even watch the 40 point blowouts until the final buzzer; I’m just weird like that. Served me well today.

Only complete losers turn a game of this importance off

The correct move is to change drinks. Switched to bud light from old fashioned down 19 and saved the game 🤣

I have no problem with being labeled a loser. I turned it off. You are 💯 on changing the drink next time
